Private Eagle's Nest and King's Lake Tour from Salzburg

Day trip from Salzburg to Bavarian Alps

Overview

Discover the highlights of the Bavarian Alps on a private full-day tour from Salzburg to the iconic Eagle’s Nest and the breathtaking Königssee (King’s Lake). This popular Salzburg day trip combines history, panoramic mountain views, and one of Germany’s most beautiful alpine lakes.


Travel along scenic Alpine roads to the historic Eagle’s Nest, a mountaintop offering spectacular views over the Bavarian Alps. Continue to Königssee, famous for its crystal-clear water and dramatic fjord-like setting. Enjoy free time by the lake or take an optional boat ride to experience its natural beauty up close.


OPTIONS:

  • Instead of taking the Eagles Nest bus, which is very time-consuming and over-touristed, we can offer the cable car Jennerbahn with the same great views of the Alps and Kingslake. 

  • For a deep historical understanding of the impact of WWII on the area, we recommend visiting the Documentary Centre (together with the cable car, instead of the bus to Eagle's Nest)

  • Visiting the alpine area around Berchtesgaden - Ramsau, Lake Hinter-see, and simple hiking in  Wimbachklamm (Gorge) - from May to September. 

All the options could not be done in 1 day, please discuss the itinerary with us and we will advise what is best to do depending on your interests.
